Abstract
The present paper deals with the discourse of the rights of Muslim women in the pre- independence period with particular reference to the Shariat Act 1937 and the Muslim Marriage Dissolution Act 1939. We try to raise a few questions which would provide a comprehensive idea of the intentions behind these enactments.
